This is just a reminder that our annual ‘Meet the Teacher’ event is this Wednesday 10th September.
The event runs from 6pm-7.25pm. More information is contained in the letter attached below.
We look forward to seeing you then!
Today we had a fabulous visit from the acclaimed author, A.F. Steadman! She is the author of the Skandar series of books. Today we were treated to some background to the novel series, a quiz, the chance to create our own unicorn, and the opportunity to buy books and have them signed by the author!
We really enjoyed the visit- let’s hope this visit encourages our children to pick up a book and enjoy reading for enjoyment as often as they can!
